Sociology - The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey

Sociology from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey is a Campus Bachelor Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The Sociology (SOCY) program focuses on the analysis of human beings as members of societies. Sociologists study phenomena of various sorts: social interaction among individuals, groups and societies; the institutions that constitute a society; and the processes that create and sustain social inequality. In addition, sociological analysis sharpens the understanding of various levels of social life, from interpersonal interaction (such as found in families, small work groups, friendships, and casual encounters); through the organization and function of social institutions (such as the family, religion, education, politics and medicine); to the structure and functioning of social systems as a whole (class structure, ethnic relations, ideology and various political processes). The Anthropology (ANTH) program broadens this focus to the study of human cultures worldwide. People are understood in terms of their biological and behavioral variation cross-culturally and through time. Stockton's SOCY/ANTH program emphasizes the method of research common to both sociology and anthropology-the field method-but provides work in survey, historical, and experimental methods as well. Substantively, the program is particularly concerned with the ways people are influenced by and react to dominant-subordinate relationships such as those manifested in ethnicity/race, class, gender and/or age. The dominant perspective of the program is comparative and international. View more details on The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey .
